Welcome to the Credibility Commons website. The Commons is a research initiative that aims to improve access to credible information on the Internet. The Commons is sponsored by the Information School at the University of Washington and the Information Institute of Syracuse.

We are currently working on a number of projects related to Internet credibility, including user studies and software tools. We hope you’ll stay tuned.

Here are some of our current projects:

• Reference Extract, a search engine that provides credible sources derived from reference librarian transactions

• OpenQA, a toolkit for producing question-answer sites

• ACE (beta), a web service that will evaluate y our site for common signs of trustworthiness

• Our research reports

Have fun exploring. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
